“The biggest problem for Smith is that he is all of 90 pounds,” Rasey said. “The only guys he has lost to are 112-pounders who cut weight and are able to outmuscle him. Anyone who is his size or skill level, he’s been able to beat.”

Besides sitting out two wrestlers in order to keep them healthy for the post season, Forest Hills Eastern only has nine wrestlers.

“We wrestled pretty tough tonight, but we just don’t have enough guys on the team,” Grand Rapids Forest Hills coach Dan Rasey said. “We are in a complete rebuild over here. I knew we were going to have a hard time.”
